Of course, Keane's cash salary may be impressive. But, in terms of stock compensation, she wasn't the leader.

Apple GC Bruce Sewell has received upwards of $28.4 million in stock compensation, the ABA Journal reports.

Interestingly enough, Keane is only one of 14 women who were able to make the list of 100 top-paid general counsels, created by Corporate Counsel, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Keane's pay is definitely not the norm in the in-house world. The average base salary of in-house counsel was around $622,461, according to the survey, with the cash bonus averaging at around $1.2 million. On average, GCs got stock option awards at around $901,000, or outright stock awards at $1.6 million, the ABA Journal reports.

If you're not one of these GCs who are raking in the dough, don't despair. You're probably not the only one, as previous surveys had shown that in-house counsel salaries are actually slowing down.
